Always wanted to breathe underwater? The Basic Diver experience at Novotel, Candolim is the easiest way in — no certification, no prior experience, and you don’t need to be a strong swimmer. You start with a guided pool session alongside a 1:1 SSI-certified instructor, then head out by boat to dive Goa’s waters with that same instructor right beside you.
This page lets you build your own dive. Choose your dive site — Suzy’s Wreck, Goa’s iconic 1940s British shipwreck (10–12m), or the shallower Coral Garden Reef (6–10m). Pick how long you want to stay underwater: 15, 30 or 45 minutes. Add an optional second dive, and tack on extras like HD photos & video, a wetsuit, an edited social-media reel, a buffet dinner, or your SSI Basic Diver certificate. Your price updates live as you choose.
You only pay a 20% advance to confirm — the balance is settled in person after your pool training session, so you commit fully only once you’re comfortable in the water. Every booking includes all scuba gear, the boat ride (dolphin sightings are common), and snorkeling plus paddle-boarding on the day.
